TROUT:: GOOD:: Lots of nice fish were caught last weekend on what seems like ever lasting hard water. Anglers with distance and ice-o-lation found success on a variety of baits. Egg sacks caught the biggest but Kastmasters in the 1/8 size gold or FT tipped did well. This is the time of year when switching baits often is the name of the game as they may hit one type of bait early and switch as the day progresses. Lots of Trophy fish are caught at ice off.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: If you want to go one last time this would be the weekend. We had the same luck we had all season. Catching 2 to 4 with other missed opportunities followed by long waits. The smaller Kastmaster certainly seemed to be the most productive along with Swedish Pimples in size 3 and 4. When the biting group comes through you better be on your game.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR:Our Guide Karl E. has seen them and has been teased. The big fish are extremely cautious and will watch a bait for extended periods and then move off. Stealth is required. We are out of water dogs for the season. They were only moderately successful this year. Suckers have done as good as any bait of late.
SPECIAL NOTE: 11 Mile Marina is located at the North Shore in Eleven Mile State Park, Lake George Colorado. A CPW Park Pass is required on all vehicles entering the Park. Any fees for Guide/Outfitter/Rental services do not include Park fees, CO fishing license or gratuities.
